Sustainability Collaborator

I work as a Sustainability Collaborator with a range of artists/practitioners. 

In this role I use my experience as an artist/producer to work with people wishing to deliver their projects in more sustainable ways.  Following methods from The Theatre Green Book I help with practical/logistical work to ensure that green goals set are completed with rigour, for example:

  • Exploring how sustainability can form a meaningful part of artists work.

  • Chairing whole team green meetings.

  • Working with artists to explore how they can work with sustainable materials/discourage wastefulness in the process/delivery of their project.

  • Creation of Sustainability Action Plan with team outlining clear responsibilities and aims to be carried out across different departments.

  • Reducing energy use and planning around increased use of Public Transport across operations + slow touring models.

  • Communicating Green aims and logistics to project partners.

  • Green Evaluation, measurement of successes and advice on what can be improved in future.

I have worked as Sustainability Collaborator for a range of Performance and Dance artists based in the UK since 2022. This work has been funded by Creative Scotland Theatre and Dance Touring Fund and Creative Scotland Open Fund.
